| Giovanni Antonio Santarelli Cameo - Abandoned Ariadne ca. 1800-1820 sardonyx Hermitage, Saint Petersburg |
Of European cameos and intaglios carved since the Renaissance, the majority cannot be traced to an individual named artist. Those grouped here – from collections at the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg – are exceptional, because the names of their makers are recorded and remembered. Most such makers were Italian, where the craft was most ardently revived – in conscious competition with ancient Greek and Roman models.
